Basically, I wrote this out:
radius=pow((volume*3)/(4*PI),1/3);

And radius was coming out to 1 every time. So I made a printf to show various parts of that.

printf("PI=%.*s volume=%.*s (volume*3)/(4*PI)=%.*s radius=%.*s\n", .toString(PI), .toString(volume), .toString((volume*3)/(4*PI)), .toString(radius));

PI=3.14159 volume=71.1094 (volume*3)/(4*PI)=16.9761 radius=1

And then I did this:
printf("1/3=%.*s",.toString(1/3));

And got:
1/3=0

I suppose this is intentional (Since both numbers are integers)?

P.S. I have changed it to 1/3.0, which works, but does not look like a proper fraction :P.

It is a C-ism. Due to lack of proper beginners' books on D, it is very advantageous to learn some of C before going to D. Also, everything which works the same way as in C or C++ has been left out of the documentation.

I think so.

Does

	cast(real) 1/3

look more like it to you?
